Ellis County recovery court receives state award to expand services
Summary
Chief judge Curtis Brown and recovery coordinator Theresa Greenwood said the county recovery court received just over $25,000 in state specialty‑court funding to pay for supervision‑officer training, a one‑year Repath app license, participant incentives and a new therapy group for women.
Curtis Brown told commissioners that the county's recovery court was awarded "a little over $25,000" through a state specialty‑court funding solicitation administered by the Office of Judicial Administration. Brown credited recovery coordinator Theresa Greenwood with preparing the application.
Greenwood outlined how the funding will be used: three‑day intensive‑supervision officer training in Oklahoma City, a year of the Repath participant app, small incentives for participants, fuel vouchers to help with transportation to appointments, and a new behavior‑therapy group focused on women. Brown and Greenwood said they hope the legislature continues to fund the specialty‑court program in future cycles.
